Teri - thanks for posting. I have not seen a response from the City of Bainbridge Island yet, but I am hopeful. There yesterday and the Bay Hay truck was unloading on the corner and the sight distance was totally blocked. I think they should use their store as they need to but a 4-Way stop would make it safer and slow it down - before an accident there, please!

Hey COBI - has this been studied yet? I would like to see a response as it continues to be an issue. Bay Hay on styrofoam recycle day recently - and the traffic at this intersection was quite crazy. Please let us know one way or another!

I agree, I wish there was more attention to this matter. Every time I drive down Sunrise Drive NE to turn onto Valley RD, my view at the stop is obscured by the Rolling Bay Automotive Van parked in front of it. You have to move into the intersection to see around the van to see if a car is coming since they do not have a stop sign. Frankly, you are half way into the intersection already and I am glad no one is coming fast down Valley Road. Either correct the parking matter at Rolling Bay Automotive or simply place to STOP signs at the intersection which would force everyone to take a moment to look around and proceed with caution. Safety for everyone is the main point here. If you don't believe me, just drive down Sunrise Drive NE towards Valley Road NE.I am sure you will understand afterwards. Thanks for your attention towards this matter everyone.

COBI - the silence on this issue is deafening. PLEASE respond that you're looking at it and PLEASE do something about it. With the U.S. Mail truck parked there once/day, this is DANGEROUS. I will be sending this request to the City Manager if you cannot respond. It has been almost a year since this was originally posted, and ** no answer ** has been the reply. A pedestrian getting killed or an auto accident here will be too late. I can come down and write a check for the two extra stop signs if that's the issue - but an answer is required please.

An alternative - affix cross traffic does not stop -to existing signs so that drivers on Sunrise unfamilar with the intersection don't dart out thinking traffic Valley will just yeild. Sometimes slowing down because drivers dart out are misinterpeted as a go ahead.

The City contracted with a consultant to provide a traffic study of the rolling bay area including the intersection of Valley and Sunrise in 2013. The study was presented to the City Council on February 19, 2014. The City Council passed a resolution to implement speed zone modifications on March 24, 2014. Prior to the study the City marked a no parking area in front of Bay Hay and feed so that pedestrians could better view oncoming traffic and be better recognized. Following that study the City is implementing several measures. The 25mph speed zone for Rolling Bay was extended further north on Sunrise. Cross walk markings and signage have been included in the Valley/ Logg Reconstruction Project and should be completed early in 2015.
